    English is stupid

    A typical 50-60 year old female bookworm that designed the English syllabus sees this. Laughs. 'These kids may be good at maths, science and social sciences but it doesn't matter, if they can't do 'belonging' they don't deserve a chance to do well in life'. Laughs even harder. At a bare...

    How to Analyse Sources

    Our teacher says reliability first because we get asked 'how useful would Source A be' as the question itself and told to consider perspective and reliability in our answers to that question. We say it's reliable because ___ and therefore it is useful.

    How exactly did the GFC start?

    Inside job is good to watch but our teacher has told us that if you want it in a few words it was: Too much Aggregate Demand, particularly in the US and Europe

    why do so many people hate hsc english?

    The same reasons why many hate maths and science and then drop it after Yr 10 + The fact that you can't give it up. For me personally: It'll drag down my ATAR by 5 points.

    Practice questions?

    Extended response questions: 1. The Great Aussie Meat Pie Company has developed a pie flavour for export to Japan. The company wishes to find out how it should fund me inventory needed to produce the pie and what it has to do financially to export. Write a report outlining the options of...

    table in extended response

    Our teacher says we should have diagrams most of the time, but it depends on the question. For example if it's 'Describe the role of the government..." you might not but if it's analysing the economy's performance in achieving economic growth, low unemployment etc. you probably would. When you...

    Study plans for the holidays?

    I intend to attend the TSFX lectures and I'm also going to see some therapist who can help me improve my writing. For different subjects, I'm going to be given holiday homework that I'll do slowly over the holidays (I've got 20 hours of eco), except English where I can just watch Blade Runner...

    Is anyone else's school doing the same?

    Its defiantly true at my school but I don't believe the school as a whole intends it. Each subject just happens to schedule their task in the same week. I had an English speaking task last Friday, a Modern History exam last Wednesday, a Maths exam and economics essay back to back this afternoon...

    What are the Aspects of Belonging presented in the Film 'The Kite Runner'?

    The film shows that when people belong to places, are forced to leave them and come back years later, they can no longer belong there. Amir can no longer belong to Afghanistan because he spent 22 years away from the country and so much has changed. Assef goes so far as to him,' What do you know...

    How hard does General Maths get?

    They're right. The content isn't hard. Most of it is just getting given numbers and putting them into different equations from Simpsons rule to the cosine rule. Unfortunatly it is easy to lose marks for setting out but the content itself isn't hard at all if you put the effort into it.

    Advice for Case Studies! :)

    I actually find Crumpler interesting - predominately because it also had a case study of Roper and Miller trying to run a courier service before hand. But if you find it boring, AussieBum and Billabong are used by my school and most of my class seem to find them interesting, though I'm not a fan...

    Are you dropping down to 10 units for the HSC, or are you doing more?

    I'm sticking with 12 units for Year 12, only because I can't drop English. But our school is very reluctant to let anyone go down to ten units because they say it'll be harder.

    Writing over the lines

    They most likely will read writing over the lines but will probably be annoyed, particularly if you go over it by a few lines. They want you to stay within the focus of the question. In other subjects I've been told if you go over the lines provided you aren't answering the question, you're just...

    Related Text For Immigrant Chronicles?!

    I'm not sure what your school thinks but at my school we've been told that using a film is fine and so far I've used 'The Kite Runner' (2007) as a related text. It's good because it is also about migrants who move to the Western world from their war torn homes and similar ideas can be drawn from...

    How is everyone holding up?

    When I asked my teacher how to revise, he said,' Put it all into a grid'. I've put the whole finance syllabus into a grid and found it easy to remember. I use two textbooks and do questions from both, including a few extended responses. The ratios bit you need to practice yet once you get it...

    Usefulness and Reliability

    The question you'll normally get is whether or not a historian studying whatever aspect of World War One would find it useful, or in other words could they use it. Reliability refers to is it reliable, can it be relied upon for information. You ask yourself whether or not it is reliable...
